Purpose and Function of the Seat Belt Buckle Bracket
The seat belt buckle bracket is responsible for the stable mounting of the seat belt buckle to the vehicle's seat and floor. A correctly selected part:
- maintains a constant position of the buckle, facilitating quick fastening of the belt by the driver or passenger,
- ensures the correct working angle of the seat belt, which is important for the system's effectiveness during sudden braking,
- minimizes play and unwanted movements of the buckle, reducing noise and wear on other system components.
In Mercedes A-Class and B-Class vehicles, the correct selection of the bracket is crucial for maintaining factory safety parameters and compatibility with the seat and mounting structure.
